Building Platonic Solids
Polyhedra are incredibly beautiful shapes. You can now fold, display, and exhibit these models. This collection teaches you how to fold around 30 models, created and diagrammed by origami master John Montroll. This edition in full color gives step-by-step instructions on how to make detailed models including the Tetrahedron, Sunken Tetrahedron, Cube, Dodecahedron, Hexagonal Trapezohedron, and more. Information about these polyhedra is included. The folding techniques combine origami with geometry.
The models include all five Platonic Solids, sunken versions of each, and models with color effects. By folding from origami paper (white on one side, colored on the other) many stunning colorful patterns can be achieved. There is a section on variations of Archimedean Solids. There are two sections on Octahedra and Dodecahedra, polyhedra with eight and twelve sides. This adds variety to families of shapes including a prism, antiprism, dipyramid, and trapezohedron.
The folding methods for each of these imaginative models are quite different. All are original designs, using the latest in folding techniques. Each model is folded from a single square, which makes them more amazing and satisfying. They range from simple to complex. These unique designs are masterworks.
